Proposal - Plotting Fractals #92

Hi NumPy Devs,

I have mostly finished writing a tutorial called "Plotting Fractals", which teaches the basics of what fractals are and how to begin creating fractal images. I know that there are many fractal tutorials out there, so I tried making mine slightly different and appropriate for NumPy in the following ways:

  • I tried explaining what fractals are through demonstration, which I think flows nicely with the tutorial style of writing.
  • I used Universal Functions and Boolean Indexing in the tutorial and touched on how they helped speed up the computations.
  • I included a large number of different fractals, including generalizations of the Mandelbrot set, Newton fractals and some "new" ones I made up.
  • I provide guidance on "finding new fractals" through experimenting with different combinations of Universal Functions and by playing with the parameters.

If this is a topic of interest, I would be happy to submit a pull request of my work once I finish (which will likely be over the next couple days).

Thanks for your time

Michael

Thanks a lot for your reply @melissawm !

I'll make sure to thoroughly review the style guide before submitting, and will reach out if I have any questions. Will also provide feedback if I notice anything (I have been nothing but impressed with the contributing docs thus far).
